What the heck is the White Rabbit turbo?

Is it like a GT28 or something?

Forced Performance has "freed" me to comment...

I've had the "White Rabbit" for a while now. Drivability is exellent... no OEish low end surge, and from the outside, quite "invisible". Keep in mind that this unit moves much more air than the OE/TME units, so tunes based on those turbos were not useful in my experience. I've yet to really get it tuned out (dyno crashed), but how does 20psi and 308ft lbs of torque on the first pull or two sound... at 3500rpm! Keep in mind that is horribly untuned! I'm to the understanding that properly tuned, I should see that boost at 3200rpm. I will have further results here in the near future.

Excellent! Thanks for the info! Cannot wait to see what I get!

Are you on a 2.3 or stock?

Thanks for all the interest guys! We have been working closely with Tym Switzer of Switzer Performance Innovation as well as John Mueller of Road Race Engineering and of course the almighty Zeus for the development of this turbocharger upgrade for quite some time. The efforts of these tuners have been invaluable to the development of the turbocharger and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their participation publicly.

I know everyone is interested to see some dyno graphs etc for this unit. I would rather use third party testing data to represent the performance of the unit rather than give you our own dyno graphs. To this end Tym Switzer has one of these units on a car RIGHT NOW and will be posting his dyno graphs for pump gas and race gas later today. He is testing the unit on a stock engine, stock cams, stock intake type car to best represent what the average end user could expect to see power wise.

I’m sure the guys at RRE will chime in with their experience with the unit as well. We will have some sexy professional studio photos of the turbo on our website within the next day or so.

The turbo does feature the new style 2005 MR improved flapper 10.5 exhaust housing as well as a Titanium aluminide turbine blade for reduced rotating mass.

I don’t frequent this board very often and I’m not a big board poster-parts pusher so don’t expect me to be coming back in making a bunch of comments, the product does a great job of speaking for itself.

There are a few other test users of the turbo out there also and they are also free to discuss their impressions of the unit at this time.

Thanks, and may the boost be with you!
